BLURB:
'A single dream, a single moment, a single word, a single second, makes all the difference, for it be life or death, happiness or depression, love or hate.'
She has faced everyone of them. A dream that plagues her nights, a single moment when everything she had was lost, a split second decision that very well changed her life.
